WASHINGTON (WNS) -. The State Department issued a statement June 27 saying that, Israel, would have to withdraw from the West Bank as well as the Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip and Sirji if a.peace settlement is t^ be reached. State Department spokes¬ man Hodding Carter said the statement was issued in re¬ sponse to recent statements by Israeli Premier Menachem Begin) Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan and Sen. Jacob Javits (R.N.Y.).
The statement came as Javits -.and , other Re- - publicans were criticizing the Carter Administration on the Senate floor for being too specific in their proposals oh the Mideast which they said aroused fear among, the Israelis and unrealistic' anticipations among the Arabs. Later at a press conference June 30, Carter" said that the Administration would no longer make specific suggestions oh' a Mideast solution prior to Begin's visit to Washington July 19-20.
The Administration statement released lay" the State Department said that a Mideast peace is based on United Nations Security Re-
Rabbi Hopeful Jewish Day Schools Will Benefit From Supreme Ct. Ruling
By David Friedman .,
NEW- YORK! June 27 (JTA) — The ruling by this U.S. Supreme Court on state aid for parochial schools will "hopefully" mean, that Jewish day school pupils can
.receive/ state-funded' diagnostic and therapeutic speech and hearing services, according to an official of Torah Umesorah.
Rabbi , Bernard Golden¬ berg, director of school or¬ ganization for Torah Umesorah, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the June 24 court ruling said that states may finance therapeutic, remedial ahd guidance' counseling ser¬ vices to parochial school children as long as they are on a neutral site. He said this neutral site could be a van that is pulled up alongside
. the day school.
However, Goldenberg said that each state must now pass the enabling legislation which would'provide the ser¬ vice to.the parochial schools. He said since the New York State legislature is near ad¬ journment there is no chance that the aid will come in time
, for the 1977-78 school year in New York which has the
largest number of Torah Umersorah schools.
The court said on Friday that diagnostic services such as -for speech and hearing could be provided directly at
-the' school.' The court also
- said that the state may pro¬ vide parochial schools with standardized tests and test, scoring achievements and reaffirmed an earlier ruling that textbooks may be lent to parochial school children.
' But it said the state cannot lend parochial school
-Children' such standard classroom equipment as' wall charts and slide pro- jectors."
Goldenberg stressed the hearing ahd speech service because a 1975 ruling by the Supreme Court invalidated a Pennsylvania program pro¬ viding diagnostic hearing and speech service for" parochial schoolchildren. At that time, Goldenberg said, the'ruling was a "disaster" for Jewish day schools. He said - since. then only the schools which had enough money were able to continue therapeutic service.
The Torah Umesorah official noted,, however; that except for. the speech and, hearing programs, the new court ruling will not provide
any other help for day schools to meet their ever in¬ creasing financial problems.
solutions 242 and 338. It noted that 242 says that in return for a durable peace "Israel clearly' should -.withdraw from occupied territories.
"We consider that this, re¬ solution means withdrawal on all fronts of the Middle East — Sinai, Golan, West^ Bank and Gaza — with the exact, border and security arrangements being agreed ' in the negotiations. These ne¬ gotiations must start without any preconditions from any side. This means no territories including the West ' Bank are , automatically excluded' from the' items to- be • negotiated." -- ,
The statement stressed that "We are not asking for one-sided concessions from anyone. The Arab states will - have to agree to implement a . kind of peace which pro¬ duces confidence in. its durability. In our view that means security arrange¬ ments on all fronts satisfac¬ tory'-to all parlies," _ to guarantee established borders, and steps toward normalization of relations withlsrael." ^,
;The'sta'fe'raerit'saida'dur-" able peace "must also deal with the Palestinian issue. In this connection, the President has spoken of the need for a homeland for the • Palestinians, whose exact nature should be negotiated between the parties.",
Meanwhile, Israeli Am¬ bassador Simcha Dinitz and Rabbi Alexander Schindler, chairman of the Conference Of Presidents of Major
American Jewish Organiza¬ tions, who met separately with Secretary of State Cyrus Vance on the same day the statement was issued said there was no change in the U.S. position. "There is no secret that we
had differences of opinions on some items before," Dinitz said to newsmen. "I don't think that as a result of this statement any of the dif¬ ferences were either re¬ solved or augmented. I think

NEW YORK (WNS) — Israel's trade agreement with the European Economic Community (EEC), which went into effect July 1, opens the world's largest duty¬ free market to American manufacturers, according to the government^ Israel Investment Authority. Israeli officials noted that Israel is the only country that has duty-free agreements' with both the EEC and the' United States. Hanan Bar On, minister at the Israel ' Embassy in Washington, told a press conference here -June 28 that Israel expects that many American companies will take the opportunity.to expand their markets into the CommonMarket countries by opening manufacturing facilities in Israel. The Investment . -Authority believes the new arrangement will be most " attractive to - companies in chemicals, phar¬ maceuticals, .plastics, textiles, metals, machinery, - electric goods and instruments. • - GENEVA (WNS) — The International Committee for European Migration7 said here that it and the High Commissioner for Refugees would finance the reset- - tlement of the 66 Vietnamese in Israel who were ' rescued,by.an Israeli,freighter off the coast of Viet- , nam. . . •

The trustees action came after a dispute at Suny Buffalo where -officials Tjad decided to hold classes ^on those days despite protests from Jewish students.. , .
Israel Surprised By Statement
JERUSALEM (WNS) - Israeli officials were taken by surprise by the statement -issued by the State Department June 27 asserting that Israel would be required to withdraw from territories on all fronts, including, the West Bank. Officials described the statement as "blunt" and indicated that they-were disturbed that it came less than a month before Begin's July.19-20 visit to Washington.
Speaking to the Jewish Agency Board of Governors ' June 28 Premier Menachem Begin said Israel is ready to go to a Geneva conference as early as October and will exclude no issue from- the negotiating process. Begin also said that when he goes to Washington he hopes to find a common language with President - Carter! - '
' Later in a speech to industrialists June 29 Begin said that while the State Department statement was bad in content and intent frequently good things may emerge from the bad. He hinted that he possessed information to support that remark which he could not reveal. Begin said he was preparing for his visit to Washington with the trepidation of a Jew preparing for Yom Kippur.. - Meanwhile, former Premier Yitzhak Rabin called
- the U.S. statement rude and said that never before had.
' such "a statement Jjeen issued prior to the visit of'an" Israeli premier to Washington. Interviewed on Israel
- Television, Rabin said that the American attitude on the Mideast had eroded from Israel's viewpoint since
she met with Carter in Washington last March. He said . he considered the statement totally divergent from what Carter told him in Washington. *■
But Dr. Nabum Goldmann, president of the World
Jewish Congressrtold newsmen in Tel Aviv that he was
not surprised by the U.S. statement since that was
' what he heard from Administration officials during his
recpnt visit to Washington.
